Life as I see it
I used to notice toilet paper and whether it came off from the bottom or unrolled off the top. I used to prefer it to roll off the bottom, however lately I seem to not care which way it rolls off as long as it stays together while I'm using it. I don't know if this is because of age or the medication I'm taking. Bill

I've got a gripe about toilet paper. I take offense when in a public bathroom to go into a stall and find a highly engineered, locking, stainless steel toilet paper dispenser that issues one 4 inch square sheet at a time. What the heck good is that. Or, it issues a 4 inch sheet with a tearout on one edge. Somebody could make a mint by selling full rolls under the doors.
Bill - you should try my meds.

over the top, under the bottom, too small, locking dispenser, single ply, torn, too rough. You guys should just try doing without one day.

The late Queen Mother of England was said to prefer something called "Bronco Paper" (possibly a brand name) that was introduced during the paper shortages of WWII. It's virtually untreated wood pulp, almost barky--even the worst institutional tp available in the U.S. is significantly higher quality than "Bronco Paper".

There was a draft (I don't mean wind) during my time in the Army. And with drafting all kinds of individuals are pulled out of the so called woodwork and other places. I remember this one guy that was amazed to see a toilet, and toilet paper. His story was that his whole life, relief was the outdoors and leaves were very plentiful. IKYN

Just be glad you guys don't live in the Mid-East, the traditional bathroom has a hole in the floor and a short length of of hose with running water,
You're expected to use your left hand to clean yourself and the hose to wash off your hand. That's why we probably shake hands with our right. Also the left is in some countries considered evil and "lefties" were re-trained to use their right.
Another bit of useless trivia is the cutting off of a criminal's right hand. It wasn't because the hand stole or comitted a crime. It just forced the poor guy to have to use the same hand to eat (lots of Mid-Eastern, Asian and African countries use their hands alomst exclusively. So having to use the left (unclean) hand made that person shunned form the tribal group and ostrisized from the group.

Just gotta add to this post! Back in the 50's in England when you travelled on the train the toilet paper was about the shine and consistency of our "waxed" paper..idea was not to "go" I guess. Secondly; as Archie Bunker used to say, "Over the TOP, Meathead!"RuffSawn

My father grew up poor in Alabama in the 30's. Once while out in the woods he made the mistake of wiping with some leaves that he found out later were poison oak. He never made that mistake again!
While we're on the subject, can someone explain the bidet to me? I've been to France many times but still don't get it.Jeff
